Every Body Is a Bikini Body

Artist Statement

I wanted to create a piece that raised awareness about body positivity. This work showcases women of all shapes, sizes, and colors. It communicates that no matter what you look like or what society says, you can wear a bikini. I, like most teens, have dealt with body image issues; creating art about this was very important to me. Enriching our lives with diversity and inclusion means embracing everyone for who they are and what they look like—no matter their shape, size and color. People shouldn’t be degraded for how they were born, but built up for the beautiful individuals they are.
